Question
What does an appositive phrase modify?
- A noun
- A clause
- A sentence
- A phrase
Hint:
An appositive noun or noun phrase follows another noun or noun phrase in apposition to it; that is, it provides information that further identifies or defines. Take such an example sentence to find out answer.
The correct answer is: A noun
An appositive phrase modifies or gives more information (whether relevant or not) about a noun. For example, 'Jenny, the class singer, made everyone sing along during her performance'. In this sentence, the appositive phrase is 'the class singer' which provides additional information on the subject 'Jenny'. Thus the correct answer is option a.
